Eskimo Joe, drone show and dining under the stars to headline 2025 Ningaloo Sky Festival in Exmouth
Running from June 27 to 29, the biennial festival will transform Exmouth into a vibrant hub of music, culture, and culinary excellence - all set against the world-renowned night skies of the Ningaloo Coast.
The free community concert, a major drawcard, will feature Eskimo Joe headlining, bringing their beloved hits to local and visiting fans. Support act Feel Estate will warm up the crowd with their genre-blending sounds - from hip-hop to soulful electronica.
And music is only the beginning. The skies above Exmouth will light up with A Journey to Now, a large-scale drone show co-created with traditional owners. The storytelling spectacle will trace ancient connections to land and sky through a choreographed display of light and motion.
Culinary offerings will also elevate the festival experience. The Potshot Hotel will host a glitzy Night in Paradise Gala Dinner, featuring live entertainment and fine dining.
For a more intimate and immersive experience, acclaimed chef Paul 'Yoda' Iskov and his team at Fervor will serve up a one-of-a-kind meal under the stars during Stargaze and Savour - a secret-location event inside Cape Range National Park, combining native ingredients with Indigenous storytelling.
Rounding out the weekend is a family-friendly fun day on the Exmouth foreshore, with entertainment and activities for all ages.
The festival, organsied by the Shire of Exmouth, was born from strong community demand following the success of the 2023 Ningaloo Eclipse events and subsequent community surveys.
Shire of Exmouth president Matt Nikkula said the festival aimed to celebrate the region's unique landscape, heritage and sense of place.
'We are incredibly excited to unveil the full program for the Ningaloo Sky Festival; the team spent a lot of time planning and curating the program following the community's feedback from past events,' he said.
'This event is a true celebration of everything that makes our region so special – its vibrant culture, stunning natural beauty, and incredible night skies. With world-class music, a culturally rich drone show, and unique culinary experiences, it's a true celebration of Exmouth and its community.'

‘Harder than being CEO': AFL ex's bold claim about WAG life
Brodie Ryan, the former girlfriend of Collingwood legend Nathan Buckley, has the internet up in arms after claiming that being a WAG is 'harder than being a CEO'. Following the high-profile pair's split a few months ago, Ryan has spoken out about the hardships of keeping up the glamorous lifestyle of being in a relationship with a sportsman - which has fallen on deaf ears. Becoming an AFL WAG, wife and girlfriend, has become a dream job for many women with low ambition in recent years. The 36-year-old, who works as a business manager, compared dating the 52-year-old to being the chief executive of a company. 'What they do is tough for a job, so you need that support at home. And I guess a lot of the trolls out there will say they're just a WAG — they're not just a WAG,' she told the Herald Sun. Brodie Ryan's claim seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

'Sometimes I would say, seeing my mum do it, seeing my friends do it, being a stay at home mum and keeping a home and supporting an AFL footballer would be harder than being a CEO of a company.' Buckley and Ryan first met in 2022, a year after the Collingwood legend's coaching career had already come to an end. Brodie Ryan and Nathan Buckley. Credit: Instagram Despite her claims of hardship, the comments were not received well online — with people online flooding the comments with criticism towards the former WAG. 'Boo hoo. Harder than a CEO. You have no idea how people without money survive,' one comment said. 'Such a hard life....' another said sarcastically, while a third added: 'These poor WAGS have no idea'. 'Well when the notion that footballers are hero's and do brilliant things like kick a football I could imagine how stressful it would be to clean snot of a kids face,' one pointed out. One Aussie claimed it was a stretch to call Ryan a WAG considering Buckley had been long retired, saying 'I wouldn't exactly call her a wag, more like the rebound relationship after Buckley split with his wife Tanya!' 'Does she know what actual work was,' another said. Nathan Buckley and Tania.

Between Tania and Ryan, Buckley had a one year relationship with cosmetic nurse Alex Pike.

Aussie groom's 7-word statement at his wedding has divided people online
An Aussie groom dropping the F-word while giving a glowing compliment towards his beautiful bride has divided social media. Entrepreneur James Hachem, who is a founder of the skincare brand Alya Skin and clothing brand Sasha Therese, wed social media influencer Antonia Apostolou in a lavish ceremony in Italy in June. The wedding, which has been posted on both the bride and groom's social media accounts, is completely over-the-top and beautiful. The bride wore a classic white gown with a stunning veil, and the groom looked dapper in a black and white suit. The influencer, in true influencer fashion, shared a snippet of their vows on her TikTok account, where she has over 4 million likes and more than 100,000 followers. 'Aussies in the middle of their elegant Italian wedding,' she jokingly captioned the clip. The video then showed Mr Hachem, who was featured on the Forbes ' 30 Under 30 list in 2021, disrupting their vows to take a moment to gush about his new bride. 'F**k me does she not look insane?' he asked the wedding guests. Ms Apostolou, who has already changed her name to Ms Hachem on social media, was seen laughing at her groom's grand statement, and the crowd also laughed along, clapping and cheering. The ceremony then started, and the groom appeared to be overcome with emotions as the marriage celebrant began to speak/ That 7-word remark, though, has quickly divided people online, amassing over 500,000 views in the process. Some people absolutely loved Mr Hachem's cheeky remark, with one person branding it 'gold' and another stating, 'you married the right man'. 'Best moment,' someone else said. 'He was nervous and blurted out what he thinks. Kind of cute,' another theorised. 'I feel like this could be a red flag but weird because I sort of like it too,' one person wrote, with another saying, 'this or nothing'. Someone else argued that you can tell the Aussies from the non-Aussies in the comment section based on how 'foul' they find the use of swear words. 'Can't get more Aussie than this,' another declared. On the other hand, there were other people who weren't as sold on his choice of phrasing, particularly the fact that he dropped a swear word in the middle of his wedding ceremony. 'That ruined the classy moment,' one person claimed. 'I would be mortified,' someone else said. 'I would die of embarrassment,' another wrote. One person said the video was 'proof money can't buy class', with another branding the move 'bogan'. Another person argued it was 'disrespectful' to make those kinds of remarks in front of the bride's family. Someone else said it was 'vulgar', while one claimed it gave her the 'ick'.
